I saw a version of this that wasn't complete. So, I am posting the way I
play it. I tabbed this out by listening to the version off his "Best of
Chris LeDoux" CD. I don't know if this tab is correct or not, but I
think it's pretty close. Personally, I play this song with a capo on the
2nd fret on both the acoustic and the electric, but I suggest just
playing whatever sounds best to you. If you have any questions or
comments, please let me know. Thanks.
